Copyright and karaoke

["Fulmer, Bonnie" <FULMERB@HS.SUFSD.DCBOCES.ORG>]

     If our senior class wanted to put on a karaoke show, what would they
need to do to comply with copyright laws?  They are thinking of
downloading lyrics from internet sites, projecting the lyrics via a lightware
device, (possibly in a Powerpoint presentation) and playing the music from
CD's for kids to accompany.  This event would probably be held in the gym
on a weekend evening, and admission would be charged.   Has anyone
else done this?  How can we do it legally?
        Thanks for the advice!
                                                Bonnie
